San Jose Mission beyond the oak trees

This is a painting painted on location from outside the mission compound in San Antonio, with the oak trees in the foreground partially blocking the structure.

Traveling by Bus

 

When I travel by bus to Mexico this images of distant trees stick in my mind. 

tranquil landscape

This is a landscape that I painted with very gentle colors but if you look close there is a lot of exciting things going on. there is an underpainting in red that comes through her and there and the texture is also kind of fun.

Copper Oaks

pomegranate trio

I decided to paint three pomegranates again these time in a more dramatic light. I'm  really satisfied with the result. I think I'm going to try something similar in my next painting.

Four Brown Turkey Figs

I like to paint figs,  I ate them as a kid when we would visit an old man who lived in a town called San Jose near El Villar in San Luis Potosi. They bring back wonderful memories

San Juan De Capistrano in San Antonio TX.

I painted San Juan de Capistrano mission "plein air" or from life on site. The painting has been professionally framed, the price includes the frame.

A Battle to The Finish

Blue Sky in Central Texas

This painting is actually one part of a triptych. I do these landscapes and give myself a lot of artistic freedom. In this case it is not a specific location but a place in my mind that remembers driving and looking to the side to see land that extends far into the distance.  Those hills far way could be the Texas Hill country or mountains from my childhood in Mexico. These paintings are about the way the actual paint blends with every color, and also how it interacts with the texture of the canvas.
